NIGP 61673: Recycled Office Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61673 Recycled Office Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standard office consumables and classroom supplies, including pens, pencils, highlighters, paper clips, binder clips, notepads, sticky notes, scissors, tape dispensers, folders, binders, composition books, markers, rulers, staplers, and related materials. The code sees activity from city procurement offices, county school districts, and municipal departments, with school districts representing a significant portion of recent solicitation volume. Scope of work centers on commodity office supplies purchased in bulk to stock central warehouses or support ongoing departmental operations; copy paper is sometimes included, though some jurisdictions carve it out as a separate procurement line. Issuing bodies typically structure awards to allow selection by individual line item, by category section, or by aggregate total, reserving flexibility to consolidate or split vendor responsibility based on competitive pricing.
